THE CAT IN THE TARTAN HAT: What, do you think, Jay Kay means when he says Scotland has "inspired" the new Jamiroquai album? It would be kind of cool if he meant that he's been listening to a lot of Josef K, Fire Engines and Orange Juice and had abandoned his tiresome rheummy-Kravitz funk in favour of a slightly more indie sound, but I suspect all it really means is he desperately needed to rush out a press release to remind everyone that he's still alive and the most interesting thing he could think of is "I've been to Scotland recently."

Although it could mean he's got bagpipes on the new record. Jay Kay knows all about puffed-up wheezy old bags, having once been engaged to Denise Van Outen.
